The average radius of Mars is 3,397 km. If Mars completes one rotation in 24.6 hours, what is the tangential speed of objects on the planet’s surface? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. m/s

Respuesta :

Answer:

241 m/s

Explanation:

Converting the last answer from kilometers/hour to meters/second

An object on Mars will move at a tangential speed of 867.64 km/h. The linear speed of a spinning object equals its tangential speed.

What is tangential speed?

It is the rotational object's linear speed. You can figure it out by dividing the circumference by the rotating time

v = C/t

Given data;

The radius of Mars is,r =  3,397 km

Time is taken by Mars to complete one rotation,t =24.6 hours

v is the tangential speed =?

The circumference is found as;

C = 2πr

C=2×3.14×3397

C= 21.3 × 10³ km

To find the tangential speed substitute the value;

v = 21.3 × 10³ km / 24.6 h

v=867.2 km/h

Hence the tangential speed of objects on the planet’s surface will be 867.2 km/h.
